5 Days of Hosmeschool Encouragement - Take a Look Tuesday - Grade 8 and 10

On this second day of the Back to School blog hop hosted by the Schoolhouse Review crew blog, I will finally be sharing with you our plans for this coming year.

This year I was later than usual in planning our school year. Like I mentioned yesterday, grade 9 did not go as planned, so I was still getting over the frustration and then we were on Vacation overseas, so waited until we came back earlier this month to work on it.

This year I will have a 10th grader finishing some grade 9 stuff and an 8th grader.

10th grade line up ( with the credit in brackets)

History (1) /Literature (1) /Philosophy (.25)/Bible survey (1):  Tapestry of grace Year 1: Ancient times
We are circling back on our rotation to year 1. This will be Zach' first time doing Ancient Times at the rhetoric level. Looking forward to it. Both his brother and him will still be doing this in a co-op  setting as the past three years.

Math (1 per grade completed): Lifepac.
I switched him last year mid-year, and that set him back half a year, so he is still in the catching mode. So he will be finishing Algebra 1, then on to Algebra 2 and Geometry at the same time, because I am trying to get him ready to take the ACT or ACT (have not decided which one yet).

Logic (1): The Discovery of Deduction
This has been on the schedule for two years, here to hoping it gets done this year

French (1): Duolingo and Breaking the Barrier

Science (1): Ck12 Physical Science

English : The Lantern English Co. Formely SoVerbose.
We are trying out this company, and i was able to secure a free quarter in exchange for a review

We got this as a review last year and liked the content, so we will attempt to complete it this year.

Art History (1): The Master's Apprentice
This is a review item from this year as well that we will seek to complete this year.


He will also still be doing violin and participating in the ensemble he has been part of for 3 years now.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
